My Random Blogging Therapy
10 But the words which are sealed he shall not deliver, neither shall he deliver the book. For the book shall be sealed by the power of God, and the revelation which was sealed shall be kept in the book until the own due time of the Lord, that they may come forth; for behold, they reveal all things from the foundation of the world unto the end thereof. 33 Therefore, thus saith the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale. 34 But when he seeth his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel. 35 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine. I love this language - face now wax pale, and the entire last verse is money. I love the literary devices used all over the place in the scriptures. It is why I am grateful to have been an English major. It is why I did my senior seminar as the Book of Mormon as Literature. Why should we study ANY book or poem? We studied the authors too to try to determine what they meant. The scriptures bring the spirit, improve me any time I even consider them. Life gurus often read from good books each day although they are missing the spiritual element. I am so fortunate to take care of that first. Everything else is then put in perspective. Today I'm meeting Lulu for dim sum. Later I am doing the 8pm session with my beautiful niece who enters for the first time. I love her so much. I am so excited for her because it is like her receiving a supercharged spiritual education. I need to marry someone who can be a mission president. That is my dream.
